Wed, 22 Dec 2010 21:24:42 +0200

Still having some difficulty getting PureCM to integrate with CruiseControl .Net.

Should i be using a different version of CruiseControl.Net maybe?

Here is my setup:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit, Xeon proccessor

Procedure:
1. Install CruiseControl.NET-1.5.7385.99
2. Setup config file (see below).
3. Copy files to C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\server
PureCM.Client.dll (from 64bit client install)
ccnet.PureCMSvr.plugin.dll
4. run the following command:
C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\server\CorFlags.exe ccnet.exe /32BIT+
5. Run CruiseControl.NET via shortcut on desktop.
6. null ref in GetModifications

Stack Trace:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Create Workspace Crash

Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:24:18 +0300

Whenever I try to create a workspace for a particular stream the following screen is shown, and then PureCM eventually crashses.
In the process of creating the workspace no files are created in the target directory.
Other streams work fine.

Thanks.

PureCM 2010-1f released

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:52:06 +0300

PureCM has released the 2010-1f bug fix release, which is relevant for users wanting to import their data into SQL Server. Download is available from the PureCM website.

PureCM has added support for SQL Server as its database backend with the 2010-1 release, offering a migration path for PureCM users that have worked either with the native and proprietary database (default up to PureCM 2009-2) or the new default database SQLite (PureCM 2009-2 and onwards).

This fix is required when migrating from the proprietary database or SQLite to SQL Server. You can find details about how to migrate your database in the PureCM Knowledge Base.

Connection Refused after clearing database and re-installing PureCM

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:15:53 +0300

Hi,
I have been using PureCM, in single user mode, with some test programs in Visual Studio 2010 Professional to test MY skills at PureCM.
When I thought I had mastered some of the basics I decided to remove all existing data and start again with a clean machine.
Since then I cannot get PureCM to work!

Not even after removing PureCM and re-installing it (purecm-win32-10-1f) as follows:
======================= start
THE SERVER SETUP
tick (I accept ....)
Install
next
C:\Program Files\PureCM\Server\
D:\My Source\
next
Use the LocalService account
next
THE PASSWORD
next
SQLite
next
Install
Finish (Server setup)

THE CLIENT SETUP
next
C:\Program Files\PureCM\Client\
next
Custom (but don't change anything)
next
next
tick (Use PureCM within Visual Studio and SCC))
next
tick (Run PureCM Client after installation)
Install
Finish (Client Setup)

Connection Refused. The identity of the server does not match the local identity. If you are trying to connect to a new server then create a new server registration.

(for a second time)
Connection Refused. The identity of the server does not match the local identity. If you are trying to connect to a new server then create a new server registration.

Failed to connect to 'laptop' (Y:YxYYYY)
======================= end

Registering a server manually gives similar results

Is there something that I haven't reset, so that the environment is not in a consistent state?
The installation does populate the empty directory D:\My Source\ with the four directories: data, logs, snapshots and templates.
I have SQL Server Management Studio but have only been accessing data that I set up when I was using SQL Express, so I don't have the knowledge to check on anything in the PureCM database.

Also, a currently less urgent issue, when I go into VS2010 after the latest PureCM installation (purecm-win32-10-1f), the Current source control plug-in is: 'PureCM Source Control Provider'. 'PureCM' is available but is not initially selected.
If I select 'PureCM' it reverts to 'PureCM Source Control Provider'.
I haven't spent much time on this as I have been looking into the first problem.
Is this the same problem that I reported earlier in another thread under 'General Discussion'? If so, why have both entries?

CruiseControl Integration

I am trying to get CruiseControl to work with purecm, however I am experiencing the following error:

PureCM 10-1e with Visual Studio 2010

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:37:21 +0300

Hi!

Glad to be the first one posting in this board!

Firstly, I have to commend you on a fantastic product... being a MS-based dev, and having to have had to endure VSS for so long, PureCM is like a breaking dawn after a long and very, very dark night.

Also, the 2-user grace is amazing for us as a start-up!!

However, we're experiencing a slight problem after having upgraded to 10-1e... We are using Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 (64 bit) machines.

The first time after install, once a source-controlled project is opened in VS, what seems like a blank frame is opened as a separate window for VS in the Windows taskbar. This window can not be closed, and doesn't seem to be a separate process in the Task Manager.

There is also an error window pops up with 3 identical error messages:
Can't create window of class wxWindowClassNR (error 1407: cannot find window class.)

Then, once Visual Studio is closed - whether there was any interaction with files or the server or not - VS crashes.

HOWEVER, un-installing and re-installing resolves the issue!

Thanks again for a fantastic tool...

Regards,
Reinhardt

Which database should I choose?

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:43:11 +0300

We've had quite a number of requests about pros and cons of the available database backends since adding support for SQL Server.

As you'd expect, the answer is 'it depends'. If you're looking for minimal setup and administration, SQLite is your choice. Why? Because it's embedded into PureCM, so we can automate the setup as part of the installation process.

If you're looking for maximum scalability (we're talking dozens of concurrent connections and repository sizes of 20GB+ here), or the best way to reuse existing DB specialists and tools, SQL Server is your favourite.

You might want to have a look at our knowledge base article, which also links to various articles related to that topic: http://support.purecm.com/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=17

PureCM best practices blog series

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:54:01 +0300

You might be interested to learn that we've recently published an initial blog series to accompany our 2010-1 release, covering many "how to's" regarding the new merge automation and project organisation features.

Of course, feel free to gives us feedback on the series or additional topics you'd like to learn more about.

New release - new discussion board topics!

Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:22:46 +0300

Shortly after launching our latest 2010-1 release (2010-1d, to be precise), we're expanding our discussion board to make it easier to post questions and comments.

This is also driven by the new features available since PureCM 2010-1 has gone live; including automated feature branching, support for SQLite and SQL Server or reporting.

Of course, we'd love to hear about pros and cons, feature requests or bugs; but we feel that this discussion board could - and should - also become a place where best practices or ideas about how optimise change and configuration management get exchanged.

The stage is yours!

Visual Studio plug-in: PureCM Source Control Provider

Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:00:10 +0300

Hi,
I have just installed PureCM to control my VS2010 code.

Entering Visual Studio 2010 Professional, using pull down: Tools | Options
then selected: Source Control

I can see: Current source control plug-in: PureCM Source Control Provider

Having read several of your documents, I was expecting
PureCM Enhanced (Recomended)
Is these the same?

If not, please explain a little.

Issue tracking customization should be easier

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:55:44 +0300

Make it simpler to add new fields that aren't on the field list. As it is, I have to add the field and then go to the form editor to actually put it on the form.

The Issue Tracker customization is a pain. A drag and drop interface on the forms would be very nice.

Fields and dialog boxes should respond to keyboard input

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:41:02 +0300

Make Fields, etc respond to keyboard input. By that, I mean let's say I click on a field called Component Version and I want to delete it from the Issue Admin. I have to right click and select delete. It would be much more usable if I could simply press Delete. It does confirm after all so that's good.

Pressing ESC to close dialog boxes and popup windows would be a huge improvement.

Bug in VS Integration

Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:58:14 +0300

There's a bug in the VS integration (and arguably in the client too). If you have a file checked out but didn't make changes to it and try to check it in, VS doesn't tell you anything - it just goes right back to the Submit screen. The client reports an error but it should probably simply remove the checkout silently.

Share your thoughts!

Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:40:28 +0300

Welcome to the PureCM wishlist!

We've had a good number of feature requests sent through to support. This is great as it gives us a better idea of what you'd like to be improved as a priority. However, it makes it difficult for other users to know whether a specific feature has already been raised.

This is what this forum is for. Sharing your ideas and supporting or discussiong those of your peers.

Feel free to mention any feature request or feedback to PureCM, please just try to let us know which PureCM release you're using.

We look forward to joining the discussion from a PureCM point of view - so let's get started!
